A group of people fishing from the pier can be heard laughing while they watched the shark make contact with a group of swimmers. One of the swimmers, Steven C. Robles, was bitten and can be heard screaming in the background of the video.

According to reports, a fisherman had kept the hooked shark on his line for 30 to 45 minutes before eventually cutting it loose. Many of those who watched the video, felt the shark had been agitated by the fisherman causing its aggressive behavior.
